Modifying order of fields in CP Search module

I just purchased CP for Joomla 2.5 and it's working great!

I it set up and working fine on a real estate site I've developed ( zipzapwebdesign.com/sites/mooers2/search-properties.html ).

I would like to make one modification, though:

I'd like the text search field to be at the top of the search module (i.e. before the searchable custom properties I've set up). By default it's at the bottom.

I know I need to modify modules/mod_cpsearch/tmpl/default.php but haven't been able to do it properly.

Could you please let me know exactly how to modify that file... or attach a properly modified version?

Thanks!

Since mod_cpsearch supports template overriding, I'd recommend you to use this capability instead of modifying directly the module.

1) create directory 'mod_cpsearch' under 'templates/yourtemplatename/html'
2) copy 'modules/mod_cpsearch/tmpl/default.php' into 'templates/yourtemplatename/html/mod_cpsearch'
3) modify 'templates/yourtemplatename/html/mod_cpsearch/default.php'

Note: we are sending you the modified 'default.php', with text search on top. Check your inbox in few minutes.
